My husband said when he was a Roman Catholic altar boy he couldn't believe how much the priests drank.

The priests were supposed to say "when" as the wine was poured, but they never said "when" until it was filled to the brim. lol.

Never? Until it was filled to the brim?

Sounds like a tall tail. By this telling, at his every observation, the cup was filled completely to the top. Riiight.

Seriously, my bookkeeper who went into one of the seminaries to become a priest told me it was the reason he quit, watching the priests drink and talk in private.

And altar boys taught me how to swear. I had never heard such language
